India China Resume Silk Route Border Trade

India China Resume Silk Route Border Trade

India and China are starting to trade again through the Nathu La Pass in East Sikkim after a six-year break because of the Covid pandemic.

This trade route is part of the old Silk Route, which was a famous path for trading goods and ideas between the East and West.

The trade will happen from May to November every year.

India is also building roads and railways to make it easier to trade.

There are some disagreements between the two countries about their border, but they are still working together on this trade.

There is also a religious trip called the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra that will go through this pass again in 2025.
